The Rev. George Adamik reflects on this season of Lent (Deuteronomy 26:1-11): “I invite you to consider how to change the rhythm of our lives, to open ourselves to who God is calling us to be. Lent can be that wonderful opportunity. It begins at baptism. It begins with remembering we’ve walked into a community. We’re not doing this alone.”

On Ash Wednesday, the Rev. George Adamik reflects on baptism as Lent begins: “What do we need to do to get back to the waters of baptism? How do we get out of our regular rhythm and do something different, to be about something different?”

The Rev. George Adamik recounts a trip to the grocery store and discusses the radical message of Luke 6:27-38: “We’ve fallen into a time when it’s difficult to be open to another viewpoint. We defend our point rather than trying to open ourselves to relationship, to understanding the other viewpoint… The reason I bring this up is to lead us to the gospel we just read. It may be difficult to hear from the point where we view things… The ministry of Jesus was predominately to those on the margins, to those on the periphery of culture, to the poor, to the oppressed, to the enslaved, to those who had no hope…”

The Rev. George Adamik reflects on Jesus’s controversial return to his hometown in Luke 4:21-30.
